    Didn’t scrub at all, though, literally just poured it in and swept it around a bit by tilting the whole thing…

    Thinking about it, the num 0 always was a bit flaky, so it’s entirely possible the previous owner also did some damage. Makes me a little less sad about killing a 30 year old keyboard…

      It’s never a good feeling, my condolences. Are you gonna go for something newer or just get another oldie?

        I’m not willing to give up yet but if all fails I’d love to get an earlier Model M with a detachable SDL cable but they’re super expensive over here.

          I don’t know where you live but I’m always jealous when some americans say they found something at a thrift store or recycling center or yard sale. Those are very rare in my corner of europe.

            I’ve heard of people pulling Model Ms out of the trash, even here in Germany…

            There are a few thrift stores in my area but I’ve never seen anything interesting other than a few old radios.
